Can anyone tell me a good way to approach a personal scale hydroponic system within, lets say an apartment or similar?

Know of any good reliable hydroponic cabinets ready-made? Are they worth the money anyways?

Anyone have any solutions for a grow that takes up less space and still delivers a hearty harvest?

(I have beginner knowledge in SOG method, cloning, light cycles....a couple books on cannabis horticulture...learning something new everyday.)

PS.
If anyone knows a link to some solid DIY plan that puts all else to shame please post.

Thank You!

All good reasonable questions. And here's your answers, HydroHut is probably the most famous but there are several similar grow "tents" that are all good for cannabis. All the other stealth "cabinets" or otherwise just will not work for cannabis.

There are DIY plans and links out there that will ultimately create something that is the same but until you have a lot of experience, it will NEVER match the features of the tents. They have inlets, outlets, carbon filter and light hangers, trellis support, etc...Find one to your liking in size.

Great, I was suspicious of the stealth cabinets being undersized. I looked into the HydroHut, fell in love, and am planning a visit to my local Hydroponics Shop for a quote on all the necessities needed.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

Huts are cool but my situation and small space called for one that looked like furniture. Kids knocked the bottom out of the budget so building one was the only option. If your a slick wood worker you can save ALOT of money but it took a few days to build. Buying one would save all that time setting it up the same way as the hut but as long as all the needed elements are covered, they work just as well as the huts. Actually you can grow cannabis in almost anything as long as all necessities are covered. The 2x4x6 is plenty of space for me since I can only smoke soo much before the next run comes out anyway and even a small messed up grow with 6 tiny 14in tall plants SOG will make at least 5 oz. of nice bud. I learned all my mistakes on this last gro so i'm certain this space will make no less than twice that on the next. No matter what you choose, growing stealthy is AWESOME!!!
